Oops. This post is longer than anticipated. This time last year, I was wearing a very unattractive, very orthopedic boot thing, having tripped over Grace’s bouncy chair and subsequently broken a toe… just an hour and a half before my family showed up for Mother’s Day brunch at our condo.

Today: Streamlining my mornings.
I have partnered with belVita and Dannon to help promote the belVita and Dannon partnership. I have been compensated for my time commitment to the program, which includes writing about the promotion and product. However, my opinions are entirely my own and I have not…

Today: This week: 1, Elizabeth: O.

Today:1,000 pieces in 800 square feet.

Today: A few simple steps for a better life.
I had one of those weeks. The kind where you get to your desk and think… I don’t remember driving to work. The kind where, at the end of the day, you forget where you parked. And subsequently, you walk from one parking level to…

Today: The sport of fitness has arrived. {Part 1}
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]I can think of no better way to end a wild week than a day of fitness with a lovely group of ladies. Reebok generously welcomed a group of FitFluential Ambassadors to their headquarters in Canton, Massachusetts (just a short trip down the…
